Arsenic and Young Bush

In '62 when W was sixteen
And JFK was president,
The US Public Health Service
Declared there's too much arsenic
In our drinking water.
A standard of 10 ppb --
Instead of fifty--
Is what they advised.

After 38 years of studies
The EPA agrees
And announced so
Last October.

But W said no
To this "last minute"
38-year decision.
"More studies are needed."

After much hullabaloo
He's changed his mind...
He'll allow an increase
In the standard
But only to 20 ppb
And a year from now
After those studies he wants to perform.

Why does it seem
W cares so little
About arsenic in our water?
Perhaps since he knows
His supporters all drink
Evian or beer.
